Wisconsin Code § 411.208

Modification, rescission and waiver
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) An
agreement modifying a lease contract needs no consideration to
be binding.
(2) A signed lease agreement that excludes modification or
rescission except by a signed writing may not be otherwise modified or rescinded, but, except as between merchants, such a requirement on a form supplied by a merchant must be signed separately by the other party.
(3) Although an attempt at modification or rescission does
not satisfy the requirements of sub. (2), it may operate as a
waiver.
(4) A party who has made a waiver affecting an executory
portion of a lease contract may retract the waiver by reasonable
notification received by the other party that strict performance
shall be required of any term waived, unless the retraction would

be unjust in view of a material change of position in reliance on
the waiver.
